The beautiful coast and islands of Liberty County 
are a delight to all of us. Created in 1758 as 
St. John Parish, it can truly be called Georgia's 
"Cradle of Liberty," for it was from here that so 
many of our state's leaders in the Revolutionary 
War proclaimed "...these truths to be self-evident, 
and won our Freedom. 
 
Today, Old Midway Church and its graveyard, the 
ruins of the great port of Sunbury, and the gray- 
green marshes of St. Catherines Island, are the 
historic reminders of Georgia's role in that era. 
And everywhere :* carried on the wind, is - LIBERTY 
Secretary of State and SujfYeyor General 
 
 
Introduction 
The Royal Charter of June, 1732, given by King George II to 
the Trustees for Establishing the Colony of Georgia in America, 
defined the boundaries of the new colony as lying between the 
Savannah and Altamaha Rivers, extending as far north as those 
rivers flowed and thence from their sources in a straight line 
to the South Seas. 
The land in question was in possession of the Creek and Cherokee 
Nations, and when James Edward Oglethorpe, one of the Trustees 
and the leader of the colony, landed at Yamacraw Bluff on the 
Savannah River on February 12, 1733, he was well aware that 
some agreement with the Indians was necessary. His first treaty 
with the Creeks in 1733 assured him of a small area along the 
Savannah River, running north along it to a point opposite 
today's Rincon, passing through that town and today's Eden in 
a diagonal line to the Ogeechee, thence south and a little 
west in a straight line to the Altamaha River, or, as it has 
been described elsewhere, "the area between the Savannah and 
the Altamaha as high as the tides flowed." This was the small 
part of the original charter grant in which the colonists set- 
tled and here they laid out the City of Savannah. 
The 1733 Treaty with the Creeks reserved two parcels of land 
for themselves.. One was an area from Pipemaker's Bluff to 
Palachucolas Creek and the other was the Islands of Ossabaw, 
Sapelo, and St. Catherine. It was not until 1757 at a congress 
held as Savannah that a treaty between the English and the 
Creeks gave to Georgia the three great Sea Islands and the 
small tract of land in reserve near Savannah. By this time, 
too, the colonists had settled considerably beyond the limits 
of the first treaty and came to look upon all this land as 
their own. Oglethorpe had early fortified St. Simons Island 
knowing well that it was outside of the treaty boundary as 
well as the charter limits. The next year in 1758, without 
treaty or permissions from the Indians, an Act of the Assembly 
created seven parishes, i.e., St. Paul, St. George, St. Mat- 
thew, Chrish Church, St. Philip, St. John and St. Andrew. 
By Royal Proclamation in 1763, the English Crown extended 
Georgia's southern boundary to the St. Marys River, and by 
Act of Assembly again, the four new parishes of St. David, 
St. Patrick, St. Thomas and St. Mary were created from that 
extension in 1765. 
The Creeks were uneasy about these expansions and in order to 
quiet them and to redefine the western boundary, a new treaty 
iv 
Introduction 
was made in 1763 at Augusta. The limits of the settlers went 
as far as the Little River to. the north, down the Ogeechee 
to the southwest corner of the present boundary line of Bul- 
loch County, southward crossing the upper reaches of the 
Canoochee River and ended at the St. Marys. 
The last of the Royal Provincial treaties was in 1773 and this 
included what was called the Ceded Lands, a rich area acquired 
from the Creeks and Cherokees north of the Little River to the 
Broad and west almost to the Oconee River. Settlement in this 
area was barely begun when the first fires of the Revolution 
were seen in the Province and until that war was over, Georgia 
remained a relatively narrow strip along the Savannah to the 
Ogeechee River. 
Under the Trustees, from 1732 until the charter was resigned 
to the Crown in 1752, all allottments or leases of land made 
to the settlers were in Tail Male. Unlike fee simple grants, 
the leases could not be mortgaged, sold or otherwise disposed 
with. Some confusion exists about these allottments and 
leases, since some of the written records refer to them as 
grants, when, strictly speaking, that term is not correct. In 
1752, after the relinquishment of the charter, Georgia became 
a Royal Province and under the English Crown and its Royal 
Governors, fee simple grants were made to the land which gave 
a clear title to the grantees. These Royal Grants, in the 
Georgia Surveyor General Department of the Office of the 
Secretary of State, begin in 1755. The three year gap between 
1752 and 1755 is variously explained by historians, but in any 
case, the latter year is the first date for the grants. There 
are some 5000 of these recorded. 
The department has now abstracted, very carefully and accurately, 
all of the Royal Provincial Grants. Using cards, citations to 
survey date, grant date, acres, name of grantee, page and book 
of record are shown, and a verbatim extraction of the description 
of the property granted. The legal verbiage of "Appurtenances 
and hereditaments" has been omitted. All else is shown in the 
abstract. 
During the Revolution, according to one of the state's early 
Surveyors General, many of the plats of survey for the Royal 
Grants were destroyed. In abstracting the grants, it was 
found that only one grant in four had the plat of survey. Also, 
some plats existed for which there was no grant issued, although 
there were not many of these. In the text, where the reader 
v 
Introduction 
finds no citation for a survey, there is none, and, conversely, 
where no grant is shown, there is none extant. 
It is hoped that this effort will give important data to state 
officials first, and then to geographers, historians and the 
general public. 
Addenda for St. John Parish 
In order to make this work as complete as possible, the early 
districts which preceeded the parishes will be included with 
the parish grants. For St. John Parish this means the town of 
Sunbury, St. Catherine and Bermuda Islands, District of Midway 
and District of Newport, all of which became St. John Parish 
in 1758. 
The exact area covered by the districts of Provincial Georgia 
has never been known and according to Dr. E. M. Coulter in 
Wormsloe, (Athens, Georgia, 1955), page 97, "Previously the 
various districts had no clear limits but were vaguely de- 
scribed. . . ." From a study of the grants made in the districts 
it was found that the land in Newport and Midway almost all 
went into St. John Parish. The District of Newport was gen- 
erally aroung the river of the same name, while the District 
of Midway was likewise in the area of the Midway River. 
According to Horatio Marbury and William H. Crawford in Digest 
of the Laws of the State of Georgia, (Savannah, 1802), page 
151, ". . .from Sunbury in the district of Midway and Newport 
from the southern bounds of the parish of St. Philip, extending 
southward as far as the north line of Samuel Hastings, and 
from thence southeast to the south branch of Newport, including 
the islands of St. Katharine and Bermuda, and from the north 
line of the said Samuel Hastings northwest, shall be and for- 
ever continue a parish by the name of 'The parish of St. John 
. . . In other words this act, dated March 15, 1758, 
designates the region between the Midway (known today as Med- 
way) River and the South Newport River as St. John Parish. 
This area forms present-day Liberty County.
